Chan Gailey of Georgia Tech was reportedly fired. I'm kinda surprised by this because He was 44-32 with 6 bowl games in a row. They are expecting to do better?

How could tOSU fire John Cooper after going 111-43-4?

How did John Cooper coach enough games to get to 111-43-4?

Is this the hiring thread too? Texas A&M hired former Packer coach Mike Sherman.

Houston Nutt reportedly out at Arkansas. I think they said he settled for 3.5 million. Why did he get fired?

[/ QUOTE ]
Various political reasons along with a very mediocre conference record over a ten year period. Press conference at 6:30 today so we'll see if the rumor is true and maybe gain a little more insight. FWIW, I've heard Nutt is a top candidate for GA Tech.

An Arkansas News Source is now saying Nutt is a top candidate for Ole Miss, but is not a top candidate for GA Tech.

I've heard Paul Johnson's name come up the most around here.

Re: *Official* coaches fired/resign thread
 

Bill Doba is apparently out at Washington State. A great guy, just couldn't get it done on the field after his first year (10 wins, including a Holiday Bowl win over Texas). Went 20-26 in the four years following that.

A lot of people are talking about bringing Mike Price back.

This has been said by somebody for every coaching job that's come open in the last 5 years or so. If the guy wanted a new job he'd have gotten one long ago.

I heard Pelini to Nebraska? Yes/no?

Re: *Official* coaches fired/resign thread
 

I guess Pelini makes sense from the perspective of wanting a defensive minded coach. LSU has produced a lot of defensive talent in the last few years - and they have a couple of more first rounders on this defense, too. But realistically, the LSU Defense has kinda sucked.

Re: *Official* coaches fired/resign thread
 

Bill Doba out at WSU, which is great. His assistants however, are not yet out, which is horrible. The next hire needs to replace Levenseller and Rosenbach or it's all pointless. Still, pretty happy as a Cougar fan that we've broken with tradition and finally nuked somebody in a somewhat proactive manner.
